Dear All,

Need your help & Suggestion.

I had started my profile in Aug 2015, with initial score of 381, till today, after 3 revisions, My score has reached 398, as of end Nov (i.e. when the last update was done), as I was desperately trying to go over 400, to get a province nomination. Here's the summary:

Original Score 381, added wife IELTS got additional 12, lost 5 due to Self birthday age revision, added 10 with wife ECA report from WES. Total today 398.

Now I want your suggestion, that should I reappear in IELTS or should my wife reappear in IELTS to increase the score or wait for a response? And HOW MUCH INCREASE Can I get thru reappear in IELTS

Principal applicant score: Self: Got 105 in Express entry Language Proficiency. IELTS Score S: 7.5, R: 7, L: 7.5, W: 6.5
Spouse score: Got 12 in Express entry Language Proficiency. IELTS Score S: 7.5, R: 6.5, L: 5.5, W: 6

Please suggest, as its been 1 year+ I'm trying, first already missed deadline in FSWP in 2014, and got refusal due to criteria got filled. Not since Aug i.e. 5 months, waiting for a response.

Regards,
SV

If you increase your IELTS score as L:8, R:7, W:7, S:7 it will give you CLB9 and your score may increase up to 77 points.

Also, consider looking at other provinces e.g. Saskatchewan, PEI. They do not look for 400 CRS like OINP.

Just an advice here, I took the CELPIP-General when my Post-graduation Permit was still valid and working in Canada.

I got 12R-11L-9S-9W. The test was quite easy for me. I thought I could improve my score easily if I could take the test again, but since the EE requirement only needs a 9+ for full points, I guess it's not necessary.
